Locale definitions are part of the GNU C library. (Ubuntu does some fancy stuff to strip them out and split them into language packs; I'm not familiar with the process). You can find the locale sources in /usr/share/i18n/locales/. The file names combine language and country codes, e.g. the Dutch language locale for Belgium is nl_BE. The format of these files is described (somewhat sparsely) in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man5/locale.5.html You may also want to study Chapter 7 ("Locale") of Base Definitons volume of the POSIX standard, freely available at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ Near the top of that file you'll find an email contact for reporting bugs: [email protected] HTH, Marius Gedminas -- The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it. -- Brian Kernighan
